Today (Tuesday), according to Reuters news agency, two Egyptian police officers were killed in a shootout with what were mostly likely ISIS terrorists. According to the report, the bodies of the officers were transferred to a military hospital in the city of Arish and an investigation has started.

The attack occurred in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, a region where Egypt has been fighting ISIS since 2013, when former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was removed by current President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
